Republicans who previously campaigned on a pro-life position are now ‘in a tough spot,’ experts say. Kelly Rissman speaks to GOP strategists and campaign managers about what’s going on behind the scenes
I wonder what other hugely unpopular positions they can poison themselves with. This is what minority rule looks like. The only way we stop this is by defeating Trump and reforming our democracy. Minorities should have enough power to protect themselves from oppression, but not so much that they can impose their views on the rest of the country. This is what’s happening with the far right, which very much is a minority that’s far out of step with mainstream American opinion on virtually everything.
I really can’t wait for Trump to lose and then continue to insist that he will keep running for president until his dying breath, continuing to hold the party hostage for at least several more years.
In the times they had “control” in recent years and decades, there’s always convenient excuses for why more didn’t get done. I don’t buy pipe dreams and hopes.
Vote blue so dems can do nothing (cause they benefit from all the same skeevy mechanisms) as Republicans tear it all apart from the bottom up instead of the top down so we get fascism in 4 years instead of now
Yep. Any time they gain control, they fail to ever truly change things. They just move the needle a little, but not too much, can’t upset that status quo.

It’s not the only way. It’s just the current way that allows everyone to take as little risk as possible.
So. Apparently he was defeated 4 years ago. When does the fixing everything happen? Why is it gonna magically happen THIS time around?
Ideally the Democrats get Congress too.

I don’t either. There’s always going to be a Manchin or a Sinema doing the GOPs work for them.

2 steps toward fascism instead of 4.
PROGRESS!
